This book presents a comprehensive and integrated framework for managing market and liquidity risk in trading and investment portfolios. By combining theoretical rigor with machine learning-driven modeling and empirical validation, it addresses a critical gap in current financial literature: the joint modeling of interdependent risk dimensions through advanced data science techniques.

The book bridges the divide between academic theory and real-world practice, demonstrating how machine learning can be systematically applied to model complex risk behaviors, capture regime shifts, and improve portfolio resilience. Traditional risk frameworks often struggle to handle nonlinear, high-dimensional, and heavy-tailed market dynamics. In contrast, this book integrates ML-based optimization techniques—covering liquidity proxies, price impact models, Liquidity-Adjusted Value-at-Risk (LVaR), and regime-switching volatility structures—to offer a more adaptive and robust risk management paradigm. Each chapter offers a balance of quantitative depth and application-oriented insight, enabling readers to connect rigorous research with day-to-day decision-making in risk and portfolio management.
